Windows 10: Windows 10 DVD Player Not Working

Bought the DVD Player for Windows 10, I have a USB plug in DVD player. System does not recognize it. I cannot find the DVD player on my system, even though I downloaded and installed. I think this is a scam by Microsoft. Paid my $14 for something that should have been included with Media Player and got Bupkiss. What a waste of time and money. Microsoft if your monitoring just refund my money and I will by a real DVD player. Maybe one that actually has support.

Burned DVD's Work in SOME players

In that case, it is possible the problem is with the blu ray player not supporting DVD+R disks.

Suggest you check to make sure: it's possible you can overcome this problem by simply burning DVD-R instead of DVD+R. Check your blu ray compatibility list first.

 

The Windows 10 DVD Player won't work.

Hi Guru:

My Windows DVD Player for Windows 10 doesn't work.

I pressed the Windows Logo +X, clicked on "Device Manager" from the list.

I could find NO "Device Drivers" in the device list to right click on.

Also, you say, in step 2, to go to the manufacturer's website. This is the Windows DVD player for Windows 10 I am having trouble with. Isn't the manufacturer "Microsoft"? I am assuming your response to Jerry refers to "manufacturer's website" because
Jerry doesn't specify that it is the Windows DVD player he is talking about (and maybe he isn't).
